Subject: [PATCH] doc/git-fsck: change the way for getting heads' SHA1s
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:30:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812211730.22466.markus.heidelberg@web.de> (raw)

with packed refs as well as branches of the form topic/topic1. So let's
use git-for-each-ref for getting the heads' SHA1s in this example.
